Vedclass · Answer

(D) molecule is chiral if it lacks a plane of symmetry and a center of symmetry,making it non-superimposable on its mirror image.$I$: This molecule has two stereocenters. It lacks any plane or center of symmetry,so it is chiral.$II$: This is a bicyclic structure (camphor derivative). It lacks a plane of symmetry and a center of symmetry,so it is chiral.$III$: This is tartaric acid. It has a plane of symmetry (meso compound),so it is achiral.Therefore,both $I$ and $II$ are chiral molecules.

Which of the following molecules is/are chiral?
